Singer/songwriter Renato Baccarat is native from São Paulo where he spent the early musical years of his life. At age nine his family settles in Europe following the endless tours of Renato’s father, Brazilian trumpet player Gildo Ilhosa. It was from there onwards that Renato grew strongly connected to the Brazilian culture, with an ocean of possibilities separating them. This results in a bittersweet mix of musical ingredients: a solar sound tinged with influences from Tom Zé, Jeff Buckley, Rodrigo Amarante to the Pixies...

Meanwhile more and more musicians have joined Renato on his musical journey... that is UTZ.
